Ann Arbor's controversial crosswalk ordinance has gotten a lot of attention across the city, but a task force is looking to address all issues around pedestrian safety. They're asking for help from the community to understand the issue fully.

Ann Arbor City Council soon may be once more looking at revisions to the city's crosswalk ordinance.

Council member Stephen Kunselman says another proposed amendment is likely. He adds that the new proposal will be based on language used by Mayor John Hieftje in his veto of the amendment council passed late last year. Kunselman says the mayor mentioning motorists need to stop if they can do so safely is a change.

Hiefjte says the comment about motorists stopping if they can safely do so is nothing new. He says pedestrians remain safer if they don't have to step into the road to get motorists to stop.

The city also has a new task force looking at a wide variety of pedestrian safety issues including the crosswalk ordinance.
